Tier Ranking Every Book I Read in 2023 (108 books!) 📚🌟

Today I'm doing a video I've been meaning to make for months now... tier ranking each and every book I read in 2023! I read 108 books in 2023 and they were truly all over the place in terms of genres and ratings, so I thought it would be fun to rank them all to see an overview of my reading year and take a bit of a walk down memory lane!
I'll try to link any video where I gave a more thorough review of the books included here and you can also add me as a friend on Goodreads to see written reviews 💛

from my POV as a casual viewer, the books that i consider your “from the rooftops” books are the reformatory, sisters of the lost nation, parable of the sower, the collective regrets of clover, luster, and monstrillio

I really loved this video, but will also add that I love the fact that it came out at this time of year. At the end/start of the year, there are SO MANY ‘what I read’ or ‘books you should read’ etc that it’s difficult to find good recommendations through the year outside of that. So I liked that this came out with little explanations of why you recommend them at this time of year ❤

Video Request: Do you think you could make a video about "how to review a book" or like how to write a thoughtful/decent book review. I read a book for leisure for the first time in nearly a decade... Maybe even over a decade. I have thoughts, but I'm not sure the best way to approach my very first review.

@solar1913 2 ай бұрын

Rank your favorite sci-fi books. I do realize different people like different things in book but I do take notes of your « shouting of the roof top ». Will have to take a look at a couple of your suggestions and maybe make my way to the no notes eventually 😅

Excellent video, Elizabeth. It’s funny, but I have just DNF 100 years of solitude…interesting how a book can be adored or hated at the same time…anyway, for me Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow is an amazing book (I cried a lot), Legends and Lattes was just ok, nothing special. And Never let me go and Normal people were quite good. As an idea…what about ranking the 5 stars books of the past five years?

@aimeekessell5022 2 ай бұрын

I hated Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow so much that it’s crazy to me that people adored it. 😂 I cannot figure out if I read a different book from other people. Or maybe it has to do with how this book was sold to me about a book on friendship and then I had to deal with two of the most toxic people ever. If this is what friendship is, I must be doing it wrong.

@PlantBasedBride 2 ай бұрын

I get that, it’s definitely not a healthy friendship though I think it’s a realistic portrayal of one kind of friendship. If you went into it expecting a nice/healthy friendship I imagine it would have been jarring! All I knew going in was that it included video game design, so I truly had no preconceived notions about the plot, characters, or content.

@amara560 2 ай бұрын

The characters weren't very likeable, but I enjoyed the portrayal of a kind of friendship between flawed people, and I adored the prose. I don't think it was perfect, but it was a breath of fresh air to me. I know expectations can destroy enjoyment though sadly.

I had been wanting to read Hide since you read it and I finally got a copy last month. I too enjoyed the book! I always get hyped when racial and social issues are discussed in books and I think the author went about race and social class in a smart and creative way (specifically with white entitlement and obsessive divine right). I think it’s a fun time with fleshed out main characters that come from different aspects of America’s evils. 10/10 will read again 👌🏼

Hi there, I'm wondering 1. Have you read Anxious People by Fredrik Backman (and, if so, your thoughts?), and 2. Where can I find your full thoughts on Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir?

@PlantBasedBride 2 ай бұрын

I haven’t read Anxious People! I’ve read Beartown and have plans to read more Backman, though. I didn’t read PHM for a reading vlog but I have a written review on Goodreads! I also talk about it a bit in my “giving overrated authors one more try” video, but only for context as to why I picked The Martian for the video (that’s linked in the description box) ❤️

@alliberry Ай бұрын

@@PlantBasedBride I haven't read Beartown yet but I've read Anxious People three times! It was so cool to unravel the "mystery" side of things the first time and nice to revisit the characters after. I even read it aloud to my husband and that was a ton of fun.

this is a particular thing and sorry if it offends you but when talking about Zamyatin and My you say "Soviet Russia" while meaning USSR. I'm from that region and I always hear foreigners say that which is just incorrect as Soviet Russia was just one of the countries in the USSR and doesn't equate to the whole union. might seem like a silly thing to point out but it just kinda erases the rest of us and makes people from other countries think that Russia = USSR

How did it happen that THE thing when reviewing/discussing a book (and often the only thing mentioned) is the type of sexuality presented in it? Why literature started being reduced in such a way? On a flip side, I do appreciate that you do not always follow the hype, present your own opinions and actually seem to read the books that you review, which can be said about some BookTubers.
